N33ma of Recipe Swap tagged me for a 7 Things MEME as well as handed out a myriad of awards. I wanted to pass out these awards to a few of the bloggers that I visit whenever I can. It is always a chore to choose only a few bloggers to receive these awards as I always feel like there are so many more of you who deserve them. The friendships created are what make blogging rewarding and these awards are just a small token of my appreciation. It is a busy time of year but you may choose to forward these awards on or cherish them for yourselves. I won't be offended either way. So here we go.........

Wow, look at all the cool things you've done! Cliff diving and handgliding! What is polewalking? I love the short but meaningful saying: "Okay then ...". I usually say that really drawing out the word Ooookaaay. :-) Look at all your wonderful awards! Thank you for passing one onto me.

WOw - that certainly is a clutch of awards! Very well deserved on each and every one :) THe 7 things is fun - will definitely have a go at that. Thanks for remembering that I need some inspiration to get me through the month of November and NaBloPoMo :)

I have to say you more than deserve all this accolade and these awards! Also,thanks so much for passing this lovely award on to me. I'm not sure I deserve it, but I'll take it anyways. I love that picture of the cat on the steps! It reminds me of the south of France! I loved these seven things meme about you as well! I am also loving the look of that cheddar bread down below, especially if it is no knead. I am a hopeless bread baker!

Gosh, I've missed so much during my blogging break (which lasted way too long!). Your blog is just as inviting and fun to visit as ever. I enjoyed reading your lists...and now I think some chocolate covered almonds are definitely calling my name! :-) By the way, I'm also craving your Cheddar Cheese English Muffin Loaves...remember when I made them way back when?! I'm so glad to be back in touch with blogging friends.

First, thanks so much for the award, Val. I will proudly display it on my blog. Also I want to say that you have been and are a very busy and interesting person. There are some new things that I learned with this post. We should go cliff diving to Acapulco sometime, wouldn't that be fun? :-p

Val, not only do you get a whole slew of awards but you work really hard to pass them on. I bet you even read all of these bloggers regularly. I would like to say that you are just so organised because all you do is blog, but HANGLIDING!! POLEWALKING (that's not like pole-dancing is it? ALthough I hear that keeps you superfit!)

Thanks Valli, I will try and keep up the Kreativity (that really means a lot to me) and pass it along as soon as I can. Bless you and all who sit at your table. xxx and have a bellini for me. Inge

LOVED reading the MEME Val...was fun fun fun! Could see myself nodding ever so often. Congrats on the beautiful awards you won ...& *BLUSH*, thank you for passing one on to me. It's very precious.I'm sorry for the late reply; I'm not back yet...Take care!!

Hi Val...congrats on the award and I really enjoyed your list. I want to say sorry I got in on this late...(my site was hacked and I only just got it up and running!). I'm humbled and very honoured by your recognition and award...I thank you very much...you're a real sweetie Val!

My blog More Than Burnt Toast has been my passion for almost 9 years and has evolved with me over time as I have gained confidence in the kitchen. Follow my travels through Italy and Greece one recipe at a time, upcoming cooking classes at local Okanagan wineries and restaurants, as well as daily experimentation in my own kitchen. Every day we should be excited about what we are eating even if it just means making use of a wonderful find at our local farmers market. I look forward to getting to know you.
